What the published rates add up to

Pricing transparency carries 30% of every score on this page. Each line below starts from the rate a vendor prints on its own pricing page, then multiplies it out so the monthly and yearly cost is visible before you sign up. Every total is arithmetic on that published rate and is labelled as ours, not a quote from the vendor. The rate, the date it was checked and a link to the page it came from sit in the same line. A vendor that prints no rate gets no computed total, because a missing rate is not a price of zero.

Wheelhouse: Pro Flat is a published $19.99 per listing per month, falling to $16.99 once a portfolio holds 10 to 49 listings. The arithmetic: $239.88 a year for one listing on Pro Flat; $99.95 a month, $1,199.40 a year for five listings on Pro Flat; $169.90 a month, $2,038.80 a year for ten listings at the published volume rate. Those totals are arithmetic on the published rate, checked October 18, 2026. Source: Wheelhouse pricing page.

DPGO: The Flat Fee plan is a published $18 per listing per month, with a 30 day free trial and no card required. The arithmetic: $216 a year for one listing on the Flat Fee plan; $90 a month, $1,080 a year for five listings on the Flat Fee plan; $180 a month, $2,160 a year for ten listings on the Flat Fee plan. Those totals are arithmetic on the published rate, checked October 18, 2026. Source: DPGO pricing page.

Beyond: The published Growth plan takes 1% of bookings and Pro takes 1.25%. Every $25,000 of bookings comes to $250 on Growth at 1% and $312.50 on Pro at 1.25%. Those totals are arithmetic on the published rate, checked October 18, 2026. Source: Beyond pricing page.

RevFactor: The flat rate is a published $350 per property per month across 1 to 5 properties. The arithmetic: $4,200 a year for one property, or $4,350 for the first year including the one time $150 onboarding fee; $1,750 a month, $21,000 a year for five properties, or $21,150 for the first year including the one time $150 onboarding fee. Those totals are arithmetic on the published rate, checked October 18, 2026. Source: RevFactor pricing page.

PriceLabs: Its pricing and plans pages both route to an interactive calculator or a 30 day trial signup rather than a printed rate, so there is nothing to do arithmetic on. No computed figure is possible from a rate the vendor does not print, checked October 18, 2026. Source: PriceLabs pricing page.

Every rate above is the vendor’s own published wording, checked October 18, 2026. Every monthly and yearly total is arithmetic on that rate, not a vendor quote, and a missing rate is reported as not published.

The ranking

1

1. Wheelhouse Best published pricing

Best for: Self directed hosts who want a printed rate before they connect a calendar

Wheelhouse is the easiest vendor in this category to actually price out. The $19.99 flat per listing rate and the 1% revenue share with a $2.99 floor are both stated in plain text on the pricing page, with volume discounts printed at 10 and 50 listings. A free account tier lets you link listings and see the interface before paying anything.

PricingPro Flat is $19.99 per listing per month, published, dropping to $16.99 at 10 to 49 listings. Pro Flex is 1% of revenue with a $2.99 monthly minimum. Dynamic Sets runs $12.99 per set per month

2. DPGO Budget automated pick

Best for: Hosts who want AI driven pricing at the lowest published flat rate in the category

DPGO undercuts Wheelhouse on the flat plan by nearly two dollars a listing and adds two more published pricing shapes most competitors do not offer at all. The tradeoff is brand recognition: DPGO is the smallest name here, and we did not independently verify customer support response times.

3. Beyond Large platform data

Best for: Owners who want pricing backed by one of the largest STR market data sets, with a managed upgrade path

Beyond publishes its percentage clearly, which is more than the market leader does, and layers free market trend and revenue analysis tools on top before you pay for anything. Cost scales with your good years since it is purely percentage based, and the Guidance managed tier reverts to a sales call for pricing.

4. RevFactor Managed, human led option RevFactor profile

Best for: Owners who want a person accountable for pricing decisions rather than a self serve dashboard, and who want the rate in writing before a call

RevFactor is the only vendor here selling a managed service rather than software you operate yourself, reviewing pricing, minimum stays and gap nights by hand on top of PriceLabs. It ranks below the fully self serve tools in this specific category on model, not on price transparency: the rate sits in RevFactor’s own published 2026 revenue management comparison post rather than on a standalone pricing page.

5. PriceLabs Category leader by market share

Best for: Hosts who want the most widely integrated pricing engine and do not mind requesting the exact rate through the trial flow

PriceLabs is the name most hosts already know, with 160 plus PMS integrations claimed on its own site and a 30 day free trial with no card required. It ranks last on our published pricing input specifically because the rate itself is gated behind an interactive tool rather than a page we can quote from directly, which is the opposite of Wheelhouse and DPGO above it.

Also evaluated

Quibble

Flat per listing subscription built for property management companies rather than individual owners. Rate is quote only. Ranked instead in our revenue management services category since it is sold with account support attached.

AirDNA Rentalizer and MarketMinder

Market data and revenue estimate tools, not a live pricing engine that adjusts your calendar. Useful before you buy or set a strategy, not a substitute for the tools above.

Airbnb's built in Smart Pricing

Free and native to Airbnb only, so it does not cover Vrbo or Booking.com and is not a third party vendor. The baseline every tool above is trying to beat.

Buyer questions

Straight answers from the research behind the ranking.

What does dynamic pricing software cost for a short term rental?

Published flat plans run about $18 to $20 per listing per month. Percentage plans run 0.5% to 1.25% of booking revenue depending on the vendor and tier. A managed service that reviews pricing by hand costs more and is often quote only.

Is a flat fee or a percentage of revenue better?

A flat fee is predictable and does not grow against you in a strong season. A percentage aligns the vendor with your results but compounds as your revenue rises. Run both against your own numbers before choosing.

Why does PriceLabs rank last if it is the most used tool?

Our methodology weights pricing transparency at 30%. PriceLabs is widely used and well integrated, but its own site does not print a flat rate the way Wheelhouse and DPGO do, so it loses points on that specific, checkable input.

Do I need a dynamic pricing tool or a full revenue management service?

A tool adjusts your nightly rate by algorithm and you stay in the driver seat. A managed service like RevFactor adds a person setting strategy, minimum stays and gap night recovery. Compare against our revenue management services category if you want the human layer.
